Etsy Wednesday

It's September and back-to-school time for my niece, as well as a few unfortunate friends who have one more year of law school. But whether or not you're bound for the classroom, this week's Etsy picks will give you a dose of schoolhouse style:

Ditch that newfangled laptop in favor of this sweet vintage typewriter
and you just might be inspired to write the great American novel.

Keep your workspace uncluttered with these vintage wire mail baskets.

Carry your laptop and books in style with this tote from Pittsburgh-based Moop.

This whimsical elephant notepad might not be as practical as a
college-ruled spiral notebook, but it is definitely more fun.

This magnetic chalkboard would be perfect for playing school
or keeping track of the grocery list.
